Anyone who is worth their salt in badminton will be able to appreciate these factors:
1. This is a singles game - imagine the energy levels required at this elite level!
2. Okuhara is ranked higher - imagine the mental pressure on both players!
3. The points difference is just astonishing, considering #1 and #2 above! (21-7, 21-7 )

Congratulations to Sindhu, and here's wishing her a successful journey ahead!

I wanted to see Hockey, Wrestling, Kabbadi, and Football to be given equal importance. Being the 'richest' sports board(BCCI) should support other sports as well. IMO, Cricket is too much time-consuming sports these days. I would back test matches and T20 but ODIs are too much of time to spend on.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

I haven't been watching cricket for several years now, and would likely never watch it again. I don't think BCCI is required to support other sports, and I won't be holding my breath on that. I mean, why would they?

Seriously? No cricket? That's fine however haven't thought GIT members can stop watching cricket. Coming to BCCI, seldom they've been found supporting few sports here and there. Not sure how actively they are backing/encouraging other sports but they do it and they should do it more atleast for Paralympic Games/Sports.

Btw, Manasi Joshi Clinches Gold for India in won for the World Para-Badminton championship
and surprise surprise, who was the coach here, the same coach of PV Sindhu; Pullela Gopichand. Kudos to the Coach as well.

The probable grilling is on the way for Congress' Mega-star from South. The CBI went to arrest him from his Delhi house however he wasn't found there. Its a buzz in social media that the Father-Son duo is on the run and will try to escape the country.News18 Daybreak | Denied Anticipatory Bail[^]

He was the Finance Minister starting in May 2004 through 2014 in his tenure he might have to manage humongous join loot for the Party and his cahoots. As per the infamous news agency, Chidambaram bought tennis club in Spain, UK cottages with scam funds.

If I remember correctly, many newspapers have his 'columns' The point of interest is; How are they going to react to this? Leftist and Liberals are confused about how to save their darling superstar.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Just imagine a situation, sr. counsel Kapil Sibal is pleading for P Chidambaram against ED and there ED says; Wait dear Kapil, here a notice for you too!

One side PC is absconding and on another hand, CBI has registered another FIR against Pranoy Roy, Radhika, Vikram Chandra of NDTV & its official under the prevention of corruption Act for illegalities for floating shell companies across the world.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

No. The reason is : "All" the political parties have understanding to proceed up to certain levels/persons only. Mark my words : Rahul, Priyanka or Sonia will never be behind bars regardless of how many years BJP government stays in power.

"All" the political parties have understanding to proceed up to certain levels/persons only.

Oh yes certainly! The mutual understanding exists between all of them, they are friends out of the Lok-Sabha(s) & Election Grounds and no one can deny that. I am also a bit skeptical that Rahul/Sonia will be behind the bars.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

No wonder many wouldn't have heard about the INX media scam as the culprit is the FM/Son from the previous government and he has entire leftist liberal media & print house(s) at his serve.
Ghandhi/Vadra is the last weapon for the 'con'family has left, she is exposing her mentality and indirectly her party stance in support for the corrupt.
Somewhere down the line, Previous Modi Government failed to speed-up the case and bring justice sooner, still its not the conclusion however the action from ED and CBI is in the right direction.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

Yes, I was expecting this action from the previous government however the new Home minister seems to have taken things on a different level. The opposition will call it personal vendetta but who cares, we the people of India want justice. What do you think, how deep are the roots of INX scam?

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.
